“A good marriage is like an algebra equation with two variables: You have to define x in terms of y and vice versa, the one in relation to another. It is said that you have to be a “whole” person before you can be with another, but this too is vanity. No one is whole. Thus the two shall become one flesh; each variable defined by the other in an equation written by the greatest mathematician.”–Lee Marshall

“Men are blind to God because they choose to be so. They would rather deny their sight than confess their sin, for to see God’s hand, power, and lordship means to recognize our sin against Him, our lawless declaration of independence from God. Men choose to be blind rather than saved. They prefer to be their own god rather than to confess the true God.”– J.R. Rushdooney

“Schools exist to teach children two things: conformity and submission to authority. Anything else a child learns is completely incidental. This is why bullying persists.

“Knowledge can last, principles can last, habits can last; but feelings come and go… But, of course, ceasing to be “in love” need not mean ceasing to love. Love in this second sense — love as distinct from “being in love” — is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by (in Christian marriage) the grace which both partners ask, and receive, from God… “Being in love” first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enables them to keep the promise. It is on this love that the engine of marriage is run: being in love was the explosion that started it.”–C.S. Lewis from “Mere Christianity”

“Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.”–Antoine de Saint-Exupery

“Believe me, it is not failing to speak out with promptitude and energy that is the matter with you; it is having nothing consistent or valuable to say.”–Matthew Arnold, quoted by G.K. Chesterton

“Journalism only tells us what men are doing; it is fiction that tells us what they are thinking, and still more what they are feeling. If a new scientific theory finds the soul of a man in his dreams, at least it ought not to leave out his day-dreams. And all fiction is only a diary of day-dreams instead of days. And this profound preoccupation of men’s minds with certain things always eventually has an effect even on the external expression of the age.” G.K. Chesterton, 1922

“What is education? Properly speaking, there is no such thing as education. Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another. Whatever the soul is like, it will have to be passed on somehow, consciously or unconsciously, and that transition may be called education. … What we need is to have a culture before we hand it down. In other words, it is a truth, however sad and strange, that we cannot give what we have not got, and cannot teach to other people what we do not know ourselves. ” G.K. Chesterton, 1924

“God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply.”– Hudson Taylor, pioneer missionary to China

“And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever.” –Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 18, 1781

“A radical deformation of the gospel and of the redeemed man’s calling crept into the church as a result of neoplatonism. Dominion was renounced, the earth was regarded as the devil’s realm, the body despised, and false humility and meekness was cultivated. Dominion was regarded as a burden of the flesh rather than a godly responsibility.”–R.J.Rushdoony
